Movie Preview: Youth in Revolt


No way! Another movie where Michael Cera is type-casted as the typical sexually frustrated American teen searching his soul to find a way to suppress the memories of his uncle touching him as a young adolescent, a facet of life most young men in America can relate to. Youth in Revolt looks promising, but then again so did Year One. Cera's character in the film, Nick Twiat..or Twit...or Twisptwat idk fuck it, is a strange teenager with a penchant for classical music and older European Advent-Gard films. After losing his virginity to a stick of butter, Nick soon meets the attractive Sheeni Saunders (played by Portia Doubleday), and falls for her and her extensive 1930's kitschy porn collection. Cera's character soon realizes that his personality lacks the macho ferver needed to truly impress Sheeni. After several botched phalloplastys, Nick is left with no other viable option other than to create a severely mentally challanged and overtly homosexual alter persona named Francois. Soon after Michael Cera is caught masturbating outside Sheeni's window while being controlled by Francois and is promptly arrested. Overall this movie will make you laugh exactly as many times as the number of wet dreams you've had in the past week.
